Itinerary

Krakow is considered one of the most beautiful cities in Europe with one of the largest squares on the continent as its centerpiece, the beautiful Jewish quarter and the 1000 year old Wawel Castle are a few of the highlights. At night the city comes alive with one of the highest concentration of bars & clubs per square mile of any city in the world (more than 300 line the streets around old town). This trip gives you the opportunity to experience a unique "off the beaten path" destination in Europe, and one of the cheapest too!

*Trip Style - This is an independent trip ideal for groups of friends, family, couples, or even for an independent-minded solo traveler. It is designed as a travel & destination package, not solely as a "group trip". You will be on group tours/activities with other travelers and in a room with other travelers if you book the "shared dorm hostel" package (if you book the "private" room package then you of course will be in your own private room). You will however, have independent time between the guided group tours/activities to explore on your own and do as you please, and will receive a detailed info packet by email with numerous recommendations for additional group activities or tours (beyond what is included), sights/museums and food/drink/nightlife info, etc. It's a great balance between guided & included tours/activities and free time so that you have plenty of time on your own to do what you want.
